Architectural Review

The Architectural Review is a global architecture magazine, providing diverse and incisive coverage spanning all parts of the world. With a 114 year history as the world’s favourite architecture publication, it is a leader of debates and a must-have for architecture and design communities around the world.

International journal of space structures Journal

The aim of the journal is to provide an international forum for the interchange of information on all aspects of analysis, design and construction of space structures.

The scope of the journal encompasses structures such as single-, double- and multi-layer grids, barrel vaults, domes, towers, folded plates, radar dishes, tensegrity structures, stressed skin assemblies, foldable structures, pneumatic systems and cable arrangements. No limitation on the type of material is imposed and the scope includes structures constructed in steel, aluminium, timber, concrete, plastics, paperboard and fabric. The journal aims at striking a balance between theory and practice and creating a platform for exchange of information between structural engineers, architects, civil engineering contractors, system manufacturers and research workers in academic and non-academic establishments.

The journal includes regular reviews of technical publications, books and trade literature. Also included is information on recently built important space structures, recently held conferences and forthcoming events of interest

BLOCK Journal

Block is a journal based on auckland architecture and architects. Its recent publications include the development of the auckland city art gallery.
